The Winnsboro Farmers Market has been growing since it started in 2008. Now, a new larger and permanent home has become a reality. Just south of the tracks on Main St. and to the east are four 75 foot covered pavillions. The new space can accommodate 32 vendors. Since opening, the response from both the vendors and shoppers are beyond expectations.
The average number of visitors has grown from 400 a weekend to around 650. Vendors report that sales are brisk and they really enjoy the ease of setting up in the new pavilion. The word is out and people are traveling from further distances to enjoy the market. The Winnsboro Farmers Market is a true market with locally grown produce, flowers, canned goods, grass fed meat and more.
The additional draw of visitors is also enjoyed by the downtown merchants as foot traffic has increased on Saturday’s.
